The autos here are insane. Either they don't want to go where you want to go, or they want to charge you an exorbitant flat fee for their services ("Meter? Much better in Bombay! Even if it's true. :). Links to this post.

Saturday, January 30, 2010. Life's a bitch, now so am I.". Inspired by Indiequill's post here. Why do we bite our tongues? Why, when faced with something or someone annoying, do we swallow down our anger and tell ourselves that there's no need to make a fuss, the irritant will soon be gone? I recently had the dubious pleasure of meeting, after a very. Have pointed out that if Q was such a proud agnostic, why did he still pretend to be religiously observant at home? Nope, I shut up.

Gammerstang / Stridewallops: October 2014
http://electric_abacus.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 19, 2014. You have other friends beside me, right? I had just moved back to Toronto after a few years abroad. I'd never had very many friends, and the few I had left were moving away just as I had moved back. I was unemployed, friendless and very much down in the dumps when one of my best friends - we'll call her T - told me she was moving back as well. So, she moved back, and we met up. I was effusive - this was so great! We could hang out all the time now! It would be just like college!

The Emirates Economist: April 2005

Economic analysis of events in the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf. Saturday, April 30, 2005. Sign was not entirely accurate. The hotel was nice, especially considering the low low price. View was very good. Restaurant next door was very good, and provided free firewater to conclude the meal. Within steps is a fine Crusader era fort. (My visit was in February 2002.). Posted by John B.
